LeBron James is the most prolific pitcher in NBA history, scoring more points in the main round and playoffs than any other professional basketball player. In the narrow 115:117 loss of the Los Angeles Lakers against the Golden State Warriors, James overtook Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who had scored 44,149 points in his career, on Sunday night.
James now stands at 44,157. In the more prestigious category, points in the main round, Abdul-Jabbar, active from 1969 to 1989, still leads by 1,861 points. “That’s pretty cool. It’s unbelievable,” said Lakers coach Frank Vogel before the game. “Everything he has done throughout his career is just remarkable. So I think he’s the greatest that has ever played.”
